TORYISM'S CONTRADICTIONS.
The News this morning saws: "The
land bill introduced by Lord Cadogan in
the House OF Lords yesterday evening
cOnvicts the Ministry Of the grossest in
consistency and entirely justifies Mr..
ParnelPs action during last autumn's
session ofS Parliament. The first
thing that strikes the reader Of
Lord CadOgan speech is that.
inadequate as the bill may be, it entirely
dispenses with the necessity for coercion,
or rather it would il the necessity exist.
ed. MIR. Baifour argues that Illegal CON-
biDation prevents tenants IN Ireland from
paying their rents. Lord CadOgan formal
ly admits that tenants are evicted for not
paying impossible rents"
RIDICULED BY MR.. o'BRIEN.
DUBLIN, April 1.-William O'Brien,
editor of United Ireland, rldicules Lord
Cadogan's land bill, He says: s'If this
bill should be made law, then tenants
would not be relieved until they should
declare that they were unable to pay the
rents demanded OF them. Probably
900 tenants in Ireland would make
this declaration. This would give each
Judge 5000 rent adjustment cases to take
care of. 1t would take years to dispose
of them. Meanwhile the landlords
would obtain nothing. The bill offered
by MIR. Parnell was mercy itself to the
landlords compared with this measure"
Michael DavItt halls the bill as certain
TO make confusion worse confounded, and
therefore likely to bring nearer the only
possible and final solution Of the whole
questiOn-Irish state ownership of land
in Ireland.
Freeman's Journal says that Lord Ca
dogan's land bill admits two principles for
upholdiug which the National League has
been condemned, but declares that the
Lords proposals respecting ejectments. #
carried out, would simply protect the
work of eviction.
The prosecution against Messrs. Dillon.
O'Brien. Crilly and Redmond for their
connection with the plan of campaign
has been abandoned.
